CED Digest, Vol. 2 ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ CED Digest Vol 2. No. 1 1/4/97 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: (Neil Wagner) To: [email protected] Subject: Stereo CED player wanted Date: Sun, 29 Dec 1996 17:28:55 GMT X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Hi, all. I'm still looking to buy a CED player with stereo and video line outputs. The SGT250 would do fine, I think. Anyone have one they'd like to part with? Neil - [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: (Neil Wagner) To: [email protected] Subject: Videodisc History, Part 5 Date: Sun, 29 Dec 1996 17:28:53 GMT X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 More from my collection of old Popular Science magazines: >From the November 1979 "Look and Listen" - JVC updates VHD/AHD player A new version of its VHD/AHD (high-density video and audio) disc system was unveiled by JVC in the U.S. several months ago. JVC's disc player uses a mechanical-contact stylus to play two-sided, two-hour video discs; hardware might be marketed next year. An optional adapter can be plugged into JVC's player, enabling it to play pulse-code-modulation (PCM) audio discs with extraordinarily high fidelity. (Magnavox's Magnavision optical-disc machine being sold in a few cities has a non-contact laser beam for signal readout and plays back only TV signals.) JVC's latest player differs from the hardware shown in Japan last year primarily in the method of loading discs. Instead of loading discs on the turntable like a conventional record player, you now slide a heavy plastic sleeve holding a disc into the machine. The disc is automatically loaded on the turntable when the sleeve is withdrawn, and removed when the disc jacket is reinserted. This prevents smudging of the smooth-surface, grooveless disc, which, unlike some mechanical systems, can provide features like random access and still frame (available on Magnavision players). RCA modified its similar video-disc player for automatic loading after home tests showed smudging from handling was a serious problem. RCA's video-only system, however, has been based on discs with grooves, making the two systems incompatible. JVC, RCA, and other firms developing mechanical-type video-disc systems have been conducting talks, though, trying to establish a compatible standard. RCA has been buying software and gearing up for marketing its system, perhaps in 1980.

The Sears CED player that I previously advertised here is now resting in a trash heap somewhere. I couldn't get it to work and got really fed up with it..... It was at a point where it wouldn't play any disks.... So I TRASHED it!! Oh.... I also recently just bought a Stereo RCA CED player for $60. It came with a wireless remote and five movies. I found it at a resale shop. It's in mint condition and works Beautifully..... STEREO CED Note: I have the movie "Saturday Night Fever" in stereo. At the beginning of this movie, the left channel goes completely dead for about 30 seconds and then comes back. Does anyone else have this movie and the same problem?? The movie music also changes tempo at times.... It plays the same on both players I have. Is this a mastering problem??? Washing CED's I agree with Tom Howe on the Distilled water issue for rinsing. I also agree that this should only be done when a CED works improperly or is covered in fingerprints or mud. Tom Had a CED in his car??? Sheesh Tom..... you must be as much of a CED junkie as I am.... I thought I was bad..... I pick them up everywhere!!! However, I am getting more picky about what movies I purchase.... As far as CED's deteriorating from washing, I don't know if this happens... However, I will let everyone know the death date of the "Benji" CED that I washed.... if it does deteriorate. More Later...... Dave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Dec 1996 13:19:07 -0600 From: David Potochick To: [email protected] Subject: More CED Stuff...... I recently went into Blockbuster Music and they were selling all their Laserdiscs for $9.99 and they said that they're going to quit carrying them and they were on clearance. Does this mean that the Laserdisc is on the way out and falling into the same fate as the CED did years ago??? Has anyone heard anything about the new format DVD??? Will it follow the same path as the CED??? Thoughts and ideas welcome??? Later, Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: MELBANEW Date: Wed, 1 Jan 1997 10:08:36 -0500 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CED 2000 CED Disc and 10 players--$3500 Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 03 Jan 1997 14:37:04 -0800 From: Dave McMaster Organization: DMAC Industries MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Tom Howe <[email protected]> Subject: Re: CED Digest Vol. 1 No. 7 Tom--I noticed that 'Hot Platters' has several CED's for sale (auction) on the net. Just look for 'Hot Platters' in any search engine. One I noted was a Joni Mitchell concert which may be relatively rare.

I'm looking for a belt for a Toshiba VP-100. If you have any ideas, let me know. Also, does anyone know what the differences in the recording patterns of a CED and a LaserDisc? Looking at the surface of the disc, the patterns are pretty much identical (to the naked eye). *Geoff!* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Jan 1997 05:27:08 -0800 From: Tom Howe To: [email protected] Subject: Apocalypse Now CED The Doors Collectors web site has this for $8 (the movie contains some Doors music).

But, "THE HOWLING" wasn't in the caddy. Instead, when I put it in my player, I saw the movie, "Savannah Smiles". I guess I should have checkede the numbers on the disk and the caddy. But, I never saw this movie and I really enjoyed it. So I lucked out and retitled my CED caddy. Be sure to check the number on the disk and the number on the caddy and see that they match.

For 1980, it's planning 55 releases. >From the May, 1980, "Look and Listen" by William J. Hawkins: Quick Looks The latest on video discs? Matsushita is dumping its groove- guided pressure pickup system and is joining with JVC to produce its Electro-Tracking Capacitance pickup system. This capacitance technique is designed to be inexpensive, like the RCA Groove-Guided Capacitance system, but groovelss, like the Philips-MCA Optical- Tracking pickup syste, so special effects such as slow scan and freeze-frame can be built in. Meanwhile, RCA has signed a deal with CBS for the manufacturing and distribution of SelectaVision discs. That should guarantee software availability when the machine is introduced in December.

  • VHS and VCR (Edited from Wikipedia)
    VHS And VCR (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A videocassette recorder, VCR, or video recorder is an electromechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from broadcast television or other source on a removable, magnetic tape videocassette, and can play back the recording. Use of a VCR to record a television program to play back at a more convenient time is commonly referred to as timeshifting. VCRs can also play back prerecorded tapes. In the 1980s and 1990s, prerecorded videotapes were widely available for purchase and rental, and blank tapes were sold to make recordings. Most domestic VCRs are equipped with a television broadcast receiver (tuner) for TV reception, and a programmable clock (timer) for unattended recording of a television channel from a start time to an end time specified by the user. These features began as simple mechanical counter-based single-event timers, but were later replaced by more flexible multiple-event digital clock timers. In later models the multiple timer events could be programmed through a menu interface displayed on the playback TV screen ("on-screen display" or OSD). This feature allowed several programs to be recorded at different times without further user intervention, and became a major selling point. The Video Home System (VHS) is a standard for consumer-level analog video recording on tape cassettes. Developed by Victor Company of Japan (JVC) in the early 1970s, it was released in Japan in late 1976 and in the United States in early 1977. From the 1950s, magnetic tape video recording became a major contributor to the television industry, via the first commercialized video tape recorders (VTRs).
